this will be more of a walk through of a startup of a new store concept i'm doing. In cleveland, ohio i'm going to open up 3 new locations. in addition to selling phones (boost mobile, virgin mobile, page plus cellular), accessories, satellite sales and service (both dish and directtv). these locations will also offer computer repair, both onsite and offsite for residential and commercial needs.
with the computer repair it will also offer computer sales(built to order), upgrades, some software mostly O/S, utilities, antiviral, etc. in addition to that, conversions (records/video, etc converted to the appropriate format for a computer. lastly web design, whether it's a full complete website or just a profile page for a social site.
This will take 30 days with a scheduled grand opening on May 1st.
this will folllow day by day things that are done to get this up and running. if you have questions on how i did something ask here don't ask in pm's.

shopping around looking for locations. visited 6 strip mall locations and and one mall location, parmatown mall in parma, ohio which actually was a lucky break.
(may take a moment for the video to load)
1400 sq. ft. large front display. near a main mall entrance close to the food court. (strategically sound because customers carrying computers in the store don't have to walk through the mall to get there.) thousands of dollars of shelving and cabinets and display cases already in place. (use to be a ritz camera, didn't know they all went out of business)
as busy as this mall is the management were "desperate" to fill in 5 spots they had in the mall, so literally threw themselves at us on pricing. $800.00 a month. no cam charges (cam charges are fees collected by the mall in addition to rent for services such as mall cleanup, snow shoveling, maintenance around the mall, upkeep, etc.) all we have to pay is rent, lights, and phone. even heat is included in the price.
